Dragonfly & The Glass Swallow
Dragonfly
Princess Taoshira is appalled when she is ordered to marry Prince Ramil ac Burinholt in order to unite their lands. And Ramil's not too pleased either. They hate each other on sight.
So when she and Ramil are kidnapped, they fear there's no escape - either from their kidnappers or from each other.
Can they put aside their differences long enough to survive ambush, unarmed combat, brainwashing and imprisonment? And will the people they meet on their extraordinary adventure - including a circus strongman, a daring rebel leader, a sinister master of spies and the best female fighter they have ever seen - help them or betray them to the enemy..?

The Glass Swallow
Rain
She designs exquisite stained glass for the windows of her city. But the law is clear — it is forbidden for girls to be part of the glassmaker's guild. To keep her secret hidden, she leaves home and travels to the strange new country of Magharna.
Peri
When he witnesses Rain's capture by a gang of bandits, both his fate and his heart becomes tied to hers. They escape the outlaws, but Peri and his family of falconers are untouchables who are scorned by all, and Rain is not allowed to be part of their lives.
Can Rain and Peri's love survive the prejudices against them? And with the city on the brink of disaster will they be able to stop their world from smashing apart?

I have a problem. How do you choose what ideas to turn into stories???????????? I have started at least seven books, with only two almost completed. I just keep wanting to write more and different stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Still murdering the exclamation marks, as you can see) Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Milli xox (You write what you're most inspired by, I guess. J)

This book is....(searching for a good word I haven't used before on here).. FANTABULUS! One of my favourite characters was Yelena, but you didn't feature her THAT much... D:. The Blue Crescent Island princesses... wow. They're not allowed to show any sign of emotion? Any at all? By the way, you should completely do a sequel.

Just finished reading Drangonfly - was so good I just HAD to stay up all night and finish it (2am this morning) The characters are so interesting that I can't see why you would waste them on just the ONE book :) *hint hint* The book reminded me of the 'priestess of the white' trilogy by Trudi Canavan.. not perhaps in the plot line, but because of the ideas of religion and the new girl in a governing position - have you read these books at all? Might I suggest them? They're very good! Waiting on a sequel ;) Fiona xx (PS I LOVE Tashi and Ram together! They're so cute) Hi Fiona I prefer the Magicians' Guild books - the Priestess books aren't suitable for younger readers by the way if anyone is reading this! Julia

OMG!!!!! This.....book......is.........AMAZING!!!!!! Tashi and Ramil are simply the best couple I've read about in a long while. One of my best friends is nick-named Tashi (her real name is Natasha), and that's why I took notice of Dragonfly, because of Taoshira's nickname is Tashi as well. I had never read any of your books before, but I definetly am going to now! I've got about 3 others, but I'd never read any of them. I can't wait to start now!!! Thanks so much for writing such a great book! xxx

I loved it! I made sure I had an advanced order so it came really quickly! I have read all of u'r books. I usually take my time to enjoy them, but I have chicken pox+been off for 3 weeks so it was finished in a day! Inever wanted it to end- but the end was the best part! Can't wait for Empty Quarter to come out-as well as any others!
